Read this paragraph. darius was convinced that kennedy high could improve its morning routine. the student parking lot was a jumble of squealing tires, honking horns, and near-misses with pedestrians. two hundred students always seemed to arrive moments before the tardy bell, and the result was a recipe for disaster. still, every time darius mentioned it to his friends, they laughed it off. he wanted to propose a few early-arriver incentives, such as gym privileges or reduced-cost breakfasts, but nobody seemed concerned. what is the conflict in the excerpt? character versus self character versus character character versus society character versus nature

character versus society This is the correct option.

Darius has an external conflict. Although he is worried about a situation, the problem comes from the outside world. The school entrance is a chaos and he wants to do something about it. When he shares his worries and possible solutions with his friends, they laugh at him.

These options are not right:

-character versus self ( Darius has not an internal conflict. For example, he is not faced with guilt or jealousy).

-character versus character ( Darius is not a hero fighting against a villain)

-character versus nature ( Darius is not facing an earthquake, for example).

b. he wants to keep from being identified by former masters.
